hi and congratulations sounds like you are doing brilliantly. I don't know if there is a bypass forum or not but I welcome you to this one and I am sure all the others will as well. I am up on the central coast, whereabouts in Sydney are you?

Hi and thankyou for the lovely welcome. I live out west near Rouse Hill.

welcome big mommaof3 - everyone here is great so you are welcome to join in. it will be interesting for me to hear if your experiences with the gastric bypass are similar to the sleeve.

Thankyou.. So far it sounds very similar. Still on purée yuk yuk but only 1 more week to soft food. Trying to have 1.5 liters if Water. Haven't thrown up but I do sometimes have 1 or 2 mouthfuls to much and it sits in my chest for a while. So looking forward to losing more and exercise soon ( never thought I'd say that!!!) ????????

Welcome to the newbees :) Everyone on here are great. I have 2 friends who had the bypass and it seems about the same except they can eat and drink without having to wait.

Well I've been in my first ever stall for the last 3 weeks. But I have worked out I have been snacking a bit too much. So that has now stopped. Also last week I hurt my back big time at work so I'm now off work for another 2 weeks. So no exercising :( I've bern given the ok to walk in the pool so that's something at least.

But on an exciting note I'm off to see an IVF doctor next Thursday to find out what will get me pregnant the fastest!!! We have only told my mum and dad as last year I was told I was too fat and I was devo and had to then tell people it was a no go. So I had to tell someone hehe. So it's "watch this space" lol

I got some great news, a spot has come up early so I'm now scheduled to be sleeved in 4 weeks...it's all starting to become a reality very quickly so time to get ready for the Optifast for a few weeks. One question I have is what's the go with drinking coffee during all of this? I've read a few different posts saying its off limits but I'm not sure if that's just the milk for some reason? Any ideas?

I have never stopped drinking coffee but since the op I have noticed if I drink a lot it does upset my stomach a bit as in a bit more acidy at night.

. I had coffee the whole way through with no problem and doc and dietician advised it's fine. Not sure why some posts so not to.

I even had a shot of espresso in the vanilla or chocolate Optifast shakes and it was yummy

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
